Installation of new travel gear box for Sumitomo FJ2-265.
Happy customer test driving his machine is our greatest satisfaction 😊
Travel gear box are subject to frequent failures. Typically, some most common causes of failure includes broken shaft, intermediate gear or seal. If we react relatively quickly and replace the broken part, then we should not have major problems.
If we ignore the symptoms – crackling, oil leakage, power drop – then we can bring about the total destruction of the travel gear box. Due to the scale of inside damage, it will not be possible to repair it. The cost of repair in some cases will significantly exceed the purchase of used or new travel gear box in good condition.
The most common cause of failure is the lack of transmission oil, because it tends to outwear quickly. Lack of oil in the travel gearbox or its low condition causes seizure of bearings, wear of attacking rollers, deformation of teeth and even bursting of the body. It is therefore necessary to constantly monitor its condition because in this way we will avoid unnecessary damage.
The last of the key factors affecting the failure of the travel final drive is too much oil in the hub, because owners or operators often fill the oil with the “full” method. When the temperature rises, the oil begins to increase in volume. This causes the seals to be pushed out, resulting in an oil leak or bursting of the body.
Seals should also be the control subject. Unfortunately, we have no influence of seals outwear which causes oil leakage and consequent seizing of the bearings.
So, we just need to check regularly that our machine is working properly.
